| What can you tell me about them. Brownells has AR-Restor and have heard that they slow down the cycling of the carrier for better functioning. How do they work and are they worth the 100 bucks. |
| Assuming you are using a fixed stock, you likely have a rifle buffer which is about the same weight as a 9mm buffer. I haven't tried any of the hydraulic or other buffers so I can't comment on them, and I've never seen a rifle length buffer that is heavier than a standard one. They may well be out there, I'm just unfamiliar with them. Switching to a heavier bolt carrier and/or adding mass to your carrier should help slow and soften the action somewhat, but there will be a point at which your rifle ceases to function reliably with all or even most ammo, though as a reloader you can tailor your rounds to a point. Since every rifle is different there is no way to tell at what exact point yours will be perfect for your ammo and style and where it will start to fail without trying out a few things including different recoil springs. Given the run on parts at the moment, weights for the carrier, like the Tubb CWS may be easier to get than a full auto carrier. Many Californians are leery about using full auto carriers because of the legal situation here though on the federal level at least they appear to be perfectly legal. |
